Summary
Tucker and Dale are two amiable West Virginia hillbillies who have just bought a derelict cabin in the Appalachian woods and drive up for a weekend of fishing, beer and repairs. A group of college students camping nearby take one look at them and assume they are backwoods killers, and when Dale pulls a student named Allison out of the lake after a diving accident, her friends conclude she has been abducted. Their botched rescue attempts lead the students to die one by one in grisly accidents that leave the two bewildered handymen looking guiltier by the hour. Eli Craig's horror comedy runs the backwoods-slasher formula from the hillbillies' point of view.
Tucker and Dale vs Evil is a 2010 comedy and horror film. The runtime is 89 minutes. Its comedy subtype is Dark Comedy. It is rated R. It was made in Canada.
342 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 351 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 2,567 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 13,058 2010s films, not against the whole corpus.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Tucker and Dale vs Evil lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2010s (13,059 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 342.
